A statement by Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan during the London Indian Film Festival has become a topic of discussion. Aamir has clarified that his famous character ‘Rancho’ in the film ‘3 Idiots’ was not inspired by real-life education reformer Sonam Wangchuk. Although Aamir expressed concern about Sonam Wangchuk’s hunger strike and her deteriorating health, his statement did not go down well with senior Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan.

Prashant Bhushan surrounded Aamir

Commenting sharply on this reaction of Aamir Khan, Prashant Bhushan said that Aamir’s reply was definitely polite, but it did not show any special enthusiasm or seriousness towards Sonam Wangchuk’s struggle. Criticizing Aamir Khan, Bhushan said that he has now become a ‘pale shadow’ of the person who once made revolutionary films like ‘3 Idiots’.

Prashant Bhushan reminded Aamir of his old work and said that once Aamir had done a show like ‘Satyamev Jayate’, in which inspirational personalities like Sonam Wangchuk and their stories were presented to the whole world. He targeted Aamir through gestures that maybe now he is not able to show the same seriousness.

What did Aamir say?

Let us tell you that Aamir Khan has completely rejected the fact that the character of ‘Rancho’ was based on Sonam Wangchuk. However, he expressed respect towards Sonam Wangchuk and said that he is very worried about her health. He has expressed hope that Sonam will soon end her hunger strike and become healthy. This statement of Aamir has sparked a new debate on social media, where people are comparing his past work and current stance.
